As discussed in the Natural Eating section of our Personal Health Program, it’s possible to follow a vegetarian diet in the HumanaNatura approach, and notably without relying on unsustainable monoculture grains and beans. This form of eating can be more efficient, and not just more compassionate, than meat-rich diets overall, since vegetable foods are eaten directly, and eggs and dairy can be produced sustainably from foods that people cannot or often will not eat on their own. To help you explore the practice, we’ve provided an example of a delicious vegetarian meal made the HumanaNatura way and 100% following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate healthy eating guidelines.

For this HumanaNatura sample meal, we start by steaming a root base of diced white sweet potato and onion or shallot, along with a bit of crushed and finely chopped garlic and a dash of cayenne pepper, for about two minutes (see our Cooking With Steam Overview for guidance if you are new to food steaming). Then, a handful of well-chopped broccoli is added and two raw eggs, yolks broken, are layered onto the broccoli and potato mixture. Everything is steamed for another three or four minutes, some finely sliced red pepper is added with about a minute to go, and then this warm part of the meal allowed to cool slightly for a few minutes.

As the cooked egg, potato, and vegetables cool from hot to warm, a salad base of mixed garden greens is arranged on a dinner plate, and a veggie mix of halved grape tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced orange is prepared. The cooked foods are then plated on one side of the base of greens, and the veggie mix on the other. The raw portion of the meal is dressed with olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, and the cooked side with a bit of soy sauce, a splash of sesame oil, and small zig-zags of oyster and chilli sauces. Lastly, the entire meal garnished with parsley and black pepper, and it’s then served promptly. Simple, easy, efficient, compassionate, sustainable…and delicious!

Greetings from HumanaNatura at the cross-quarter! In the natural year, we are now midway between the naturally more balanced time of the recent equinox and the more evocative period of the coming solstice. Everywhere on earth, there is clear but unmistakable change – away from the relative balance of spring or fall and toward the height of summer and depth of winter in each hemisphere – an ongoing rhythm of life on earth that touches and can aid us all.

A Moment in the Everchanging Light and Rhythm of the Natural Year

In the HumanaNatura natural health system, and as explained in our Mastering The Natural Year graphic and post, we recommend extra progress on our Natural Life Plans around each cross-quarter. At the solstice-nearing cross-quarter, this is so we have adequate completed actions and learning at the solstice – in another six weeks or eighth of a year – when HumanaNatura encourages celebration of our lives, communities, and successes.

If you have not yet created a Natural Life Plan to guide your use and expression of the third HumanaNatura technique, Natural Living, our links will take you to our planning worksheets and seven-step planning process. Together, these resources will help you to begin more intentionally health-centered and naturally progressive life in the days and weeks ahead.

Our newest member newsletter was sent today as well, which is published eight times yearly in harmony with the natural year, providing updates on HumanaNatura’s resources, programs, and worldwide health campaigns.
